"I have never had a house painted before, so I did not have anything very specific in mind other than to paint the exterior with the existing (or similar) colors. While assessing the job, Mateus (the owner) pointed out a lot of additional details to think about, such as carpentry work for rotted boards, trim color (he pointed out how the trim was not painted in a consistent color scheme), and he suggested that the foundation and bulkhead door should also be painted. He also helped us with selecting colors that blend well together. A last minute addition was to replace and paint the stairs (treads and risers) to our enclosed deck, as those were also rotting, During the job, Mateus was there with his crew every day (non-rainy) as early as possible, and stayed until dark, until the job was completed. At all times the team seemed to work quite efficiently, and were very polite and pleasant. All along the way, Mateus helped us understand the steps of the required work, answered all the questions we had, and provided great guidance when we needed to make a decision, such color selection and material choices for replacing trim boards. My wife and I are delighted with the results (it looks like a new house). Pricing was very fair. I would hire this company again, and would have no trouble recommending them."

"Diego and his crew did an absolutely fabulous job. He checked in regularly with us before starting the job, painted sample colors on our shingles for us to see them in place and power washed the house before starting painting. They took meticulous care, caulking, sanding weathered shingles and repairing a rotted window sill. The price was very reasonable. Diego is outstandingly gracious and personable. We couldn't be happier with the job. We've worked with many contractors over the years we've had our old house, and this was the most favorable experience yet. We highly highly recommend Vallen Pro Painters!"

For over 20 years Olde England Painting has worked on the interior and exterior of some of the finest homes in Boston and surrounding areas. We are a small company with with a highly professional work crew who strive every day to do neat and tidy meticulous prep work and fine finish painting. We are Licensed, Insured and Lead safe Certified to work on older homes as well as new construction.. Email us at: [email protected] Call us at 617 822 9270 Website: oldeenglandpainting.com

"Paul and his team were extremely professional, meticulous, easy to work with, and kind. They arrived early each day, put in long hours, and paid attention to details that even I had not noticed! They went above and beyond to make our house look like a brand new home— from carefully caulking cracks, painting window shutters and the garage and front door columns too. Paul checked in with questions along the way that showed how conscientious he is— from painting an exterior AC unit (an eyesore previously) to the exterior foundational wall color selection and even removing gunk around a basement window— he took his time and the work was thorough and beautiful. We requested that he strip paint from one of the columns holding up our deck to match the other columns and the result is amazing— looks exactly like the others. On top of all this, the team got the job done in great time! Not at all rushed but impressively efficient. I can't recommend Olde English Painting enough. All our neighbors keep saying our house looks so beautiful!"

Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

While there are some sealants designed to be spray-painted over asbestos to encapsulate it, you still want to make sure it’s a specifically designed product for this purpose—not just run-of-the-mill spray paint. Furthermore, be sure you aren’t inadvertently spraying the asbestos fibers around when you take on this project, and as always, be sure to wear the proper protective gear, including a P-100-rated respirator and a disposable body suit, so as not to inadvertently breathe in or spread asbestos fibers.

Matching new paint with an old, faded color can be tricky. First, you’ll need to determine whether the paint on your house is latex-based or oil-based. Lightly scrub an inconspicuous area of your home with rubbing alcohol—if the alcohol scrubs away the paint, it’s latex-based. If not, the paint is oil-based. 

Once you have that settled, bring a paint chip or photo of the color to a paint professional and have them mix you a matching paint in the same base (latex or oil). Then paint another inconspicuous part of your house to see if it’s a match.

One gallon of paint covers about 400 square feet. Assuming that you have four equal walls that are 8 feet high, a 12x12 room will need one gallon of paint per coat. The number of coats you need will depend on the condition of the wall and whether you’re painting over an existing color or starting fresh.

Yes, you can use a Magic Eraser on flat paint without affecting the paint job itself. This is especially helpful if you want to remove dirt and scuff marks without compromising the paint coverage. Simply move the sponge over the area you want to clean, and stains and marks should disappear.

Yes, you can paint most wall panels. In fact, many wall panels come unfinished, meaning you can stain or paint them in any color you choose. Unfinished wall panels are usually less expensive than finished panels, although you should consider the time it will take you to finish them yourself when deciding if the monetary savings are worth it. You can save some money on the labor of finishing your panels if you go the DIY route, though.

If your wall panel already has a stain or paint color on it, you can often paint over it as well. You'll just want to make sure you properly treat the area before painting.
